LONGMONT -- The flood evacuation center at LifeBridge Christian Church was expecting to lodge 25 to 50 evacuees Sunday night, as well as about 200 rescue personnel and National Guard members, said Diane Rusaw, who was helping to staff the center.

"But we don't know," she added, noting that on Saturday almost 50 evacuees unexpectedly arrived from Niwot.

Hundreds of evacuees from Lyons began arriving at the church on Friday afternoon, having been carried out of the flooded, isolated town by Guard trucks.

Other Lyons residents, specifically those on the south side of the river and cut off from the rest of the town, evacuated late Saturday by way of a temporary bridge, one evacuee said Sunday morning. Her family carried what they could with them from their home near Lyons High School, she said.

Rescue operations continue in Lyons, where many of the LifeBridge evacuees came from, and entrance into the town remains restricted.

The Boulder alt-country band gives its EPs names such as Death and Resurrection, and its songs bear the mark of hard truths and sin. But the punk energy behind the playing, and the sense that it's all in good fun, make it OK to dance to a song like "Death." Full Story
